. And it comes just weeks after Tottenham Hotspur reportedly launched a bid to sign him.

Reports suggested that Spurs made a bid to sign the 28-year-old just over two weeks ago but now the striker has apparently been offered to their London rivals. 

, who appears to be up for sale.

The ‘world class’ Depay looks to have been frozen out of Camp Nou after Barca have added Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha to Xavi’s attack already this summer.

The Holland international actually finished as the club’s top scorer last season but finds himself on the verge of being forced out of the Catalan club.
